I would check your diff is not too tight then go to things that would help overall steering if that was not it. Battery forward, Stiffer rear spring, softer front. maybe 1* toe out.

Do you have the right tires for the track you are on? Is your diff set too tight? D/R turned way down on the radio?

Thanks to the guys who were making fun, I thought this place was to share information to help us all. The cool thing about racing rc vs our real race car is that in rc people share info cause its a hobby

No shopping cart or Paypal? My mom always said patience was not my strong point, maybe an eBay store. Send me the link when I can one button purchase. Thanks.

Any ideas?

Sounds like toe out. Does it wander a bit aimlessly on the straights? Check where your front toe is and reduce it a bit.

Brown is pretty soft, have you tried going up in spring rate? Most setups call for Green fronts. What type of track?

It's not clay, it's similar to the dirt at Competition

eww....i would say try a stiffer front spring, i would go to a black then a green and see how it feels. I always ran brown fronts on the v2's but have never ran them on the bb's. The one time i ran the bb's at CH i ran 1.6's all the way around with 32 front 27-30 rear with green fronts and green rears (i think..could have been white rears).

How is your rear traction? post your setup and you will get more responses.

Also, I came from 1/8 nitro where you can really get into your physcial steering wheel and crank it both ways.. I tightened my wheel on my M11 just a bit and it slowed down my hand a lot.. I know thats not tuning but it helped me smooth out my steering and "flow" better instead of jerky steering.

I am running pretty much box stock setup except a lil thicker shock oils, 30wt front oil and 35wt rear oil, avid shock pistons (1.5/1.1), shaved u-brace with 1mm spacers, c-hubs middle, Ions rear tires and barcodes front changed to rips front with not much difference, 0* front toe changed to 2* with little change, 3.5* rear toe block. Indoor bumpy high bite clay, turned down steering speed to 95% hellped a little. Shorty pack one block from all the way forward.

Rear traction is great btw! It is just a bit twitchy initial turn in and a lil lazy mid and exit. I have plenty of servo (Savox 1258) so that isnt it.

That's about it.

I was straight up front, doesn't wander, changed to 2* toe out for the main and it seemed to help a little. I am a truck guy who wants to get better, so buggy is a whole new driving style to me.

Any reason you're running so much toe front and rear on high bite clay? All that toe can make the car twitchy, especially in the rear. Forward bite might be great but when you want to rotate the car it won't want to.
